The distinguished artist Nabil Al-Halafawi criticized the announcement by artists Bassem Samra and Tarek Lotfy regarding the final episode of the Al-Atawla series on MBC Egypt.
On the X platform, Al-Halafawi wrote: What is this? Reasonable?!
Then he commented: I am very sorry.. I went to see the comments.. I found them admired and praised.. I offer my apologies for my denunciation.
But if you excuse me, for those who are fascinated by breaking the fourth wall, this remains a method from the beginning of the work to the end. And without linking it to a variable that spoils it when it is re-shown or watched: Tomorrow is such-and-such time on such-and-such a station following such-and-such programme.. I repeat my apologies.
What does breaking the fourth wall mean?
The advertisement relied on the method of breaking the fourth wall, which depends on creating an exceptional state of departure from the state of the artistic embodiment of the dramatic character, and the actors appear in their true personalities or address the audience directly in a real way to add some dimension to the dramatic image.
The fourth wall is an acting convention that refers to an imaginary, invisible wall that separates the actors from the audience, and it is assumed that the actors act as if they cannot see the audience.
When this wall is broken, the actors appear with their real characters or remain with their impersonated characters, but address the audience while showing full awareness of its presence, that is, they depart from the representational framework of the dramatic work.
Bassem Samra and Tariq Lotfy’s advertisement is based on a dialogue between them that addresses many matters that represent a breaking of the fourth wall, as they talk regarding the broadcast date of the final episode, regarding production and advisor Turki Al-Sheikh, regarding the possibility of changing the ending of the series, and regarding the audience’s preferences.
